PyData Triangle Q1-2018 Meetup

2018-02-07

Organizer: PyData Triangle

* Megan Squire: Professor of Computering Sciences, Elon UniversityData Science Education at the Undergraduate Level* Schaun Wheeler, Senior Data Scientist, Valassis Digital,Design intuition, ethnography, and data science - Data science's future as a profession faces two major challenges: on the one hand, the technical portions of the day-to-day work are being increasingly automated, while on the other hand, increasingly frequent stories of algorithmic bias make people reticent to trust decision automation. In the interest of future-proofing the profession of data science, this talk will address the need for increased attention to a critical non-technical skill: design. Incorporating lessons from anthropological research methods, and referencing recent professional work on shape validation and geolocation precision calibration, the presentation will make a case for a greater focus on design skills and the need for a question-generating toolset.* You: Lightning Talks Schedule:
